Robinson projection in GeoPandas

Question

How can I apply Robinson projection in a GeoPandas plot?

import geopandas as gpd

world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
world.plot(column='pop_est')

Answer 1

Use the cartopy library to bring in the Robinson details.

More details on the GeoPandas Docs.

import geopandas as gpd
from cartopy import crs as ccrs

world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
robinson = ccrs.Robinson().proj4_init
world.to_crs(robinson).plot(column='pop_est')
